Find out what her biggest incentive is to quit!

Rumor has it… Adelemay never tour again! On June 28, Britain’s beloved queen of ballads announced to a packed house at London’s Wembley Stadium that she is throwing in the towel — or, rather the mic. “Touring doesn’t suit me particularly well,” the 29-year-old said in a handwritten letter that she projected onstage. “I’m a real homebody, and I get so much joy in the small things… I only ever did this tour for you, to hopefully have an impact on you the way some of my favorite artists have had on me live… I might never see you again at a live show.”

hello, goodbye

It’s no secret that Adele has long dreamed of a low-key life with her hubby Simon Konecki — whom she married secretly last Christmas — their 4-year-old son Angelo, and hopefully, she told fans at a concert in November, another baby! Insiders say this last reason is her biggest incentive to quit the grind of life on the road. “She’s yearning to give Angelo a brother or sister,” says a source. “But she had really bad postpartum depression after her son was born. Her crippling stage fright gave her massive anxiety, and that just made everything worse.” Though she was struggling, the “Chasing Pavements” songstress pushed through for her fans. Now she’s hoping they’ll understand her decision to bow out. “She’s asking fans to let her retreat and embrace being a mom. That’s the life she really wants to lead.”
